Pirates seek split in series vs. Cardinals

Jun 2, 2008 - 2:22 PM Pittsburgh (26-30) at St Louis (34-24) 8:15 pm EDT

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- The Pittsburgh Pirates will try to earn a split in their four-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals in the finale on Monday.

The Pirates hand the ball to Tom Gorzelanny (4-5, 7.38 ERA), who looks to bounce back from his worst outing of the season. Last time out, Gorzelanny was tagged for six runs and four hits in just two-thirds of an inning of a 9-1 loss at Cincinnati on Thursday.

Against the Cardinals, the 25-year-old lefthander owns a 1-3 record with a 3.41 ERA in five career starts - including a 6-2 loss at home on April 24.

Adam Wainwright (5-2, 2.86) goes to the mound for the Cardinals in search of his third straight winning decision. The righthander has been lights out in his last two starts, allowing just two runs over that stretch.

Wainwright hasn't had much trouble with Pittsburgh during his brief four-year career, going 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA through nine lifetime trips to the hill - five starts. He is also 4-0 at Busch Stadium this season.

On Sunday, Skip Schumaker drove in a career-best three RBI and Troy Glaus hit his fourth homer of the season and second of the series to lift the St. Louis to a 7-4 victory.
